Why did you need to do that? Is Pro*C not installed? The Makefile.PL is designed to use the proc.mk file. The oracle.mk usually works but might not. This is the magic in Makefile.PL that's supposed to do the right thing: $edit{COMPOBJS} = q{ # Change the COMPOBJS line. (Some files use LIBHOME not COMPOBJ) # old: $(COMPOBJ)/crti.o $(COMPOBJ)/crt1.o $(COMPOBJ)/__fstd.o # new: $(COMPOBJ)/__fstd.o s:\$\S+?/crt[1in]\.o\b::g; } if $Config{osname} eq 'solaris'; # and $Config{gccversion}; Note that COMPOBJ is $ORACLE_HOME/lib (not $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib). Try playing with this (like commenting out the substitution). Let me know how it goes.

Put it this way, in xdba I had exactly these problems when compiling Oracle applications with gcc. Doing the above fixed it. But basically, suck it and see.

I have several cgi scripts I've been using to query data from a msql database using MsqlPerl. I'm trying to move to DBI/DBD. After recompiling everything, all tests worked and I installed. Now, when I try to run either the old Msql scripts or similar scripts converted to DBI the msqld either runs away or dies. When it dies, the DBI message is that the deamon went away, Msql provides no error message at that point. By runs away I mean it starts soaking up all available cpu and never responds -- I can't even reach it through msqladmin. As I said, all tests work. Also, I can make queries using the msql command interface. An old Msql script which does inserts also seems to be working.

First about Makefile.PL: After running "./build", "make" does this: cc -c -I/usr/informix/include -I/usr/local/lib/perl5/PA-RISC1.1/5.002/DBI -D_HPUX_SOURCE -Aa -I/usr/local/include -O -DVERSION=\"0.20pl0\" -DXS_VERSION=\"0.20pl0\" +z -I/usr/local/lib/perl5/PA-RISC1.1/5.002/CORE Informix.c cpp: "Informix.h", line 5: error 4036: Can't open include file 'DBIXS.h'. *** Error code 1 Stop. The DBI (0.68) "make install" didn't install DBIXS.h, so I manually copied it to: /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/PA-RISC1.1/DBI/DBIXS.h as this seemed to be correct location. So, I manually edited the generated Makefile in several places to fix this (INC and the command line for .ec.o). Then I find that our Informix include directory doesn't match the Makefile, so I change /usr/informix/include to /usr/informix/incl/esql (in two places). All these changes should probably have been done in Makefile.PL. I suppose that with a little more effort on my part I could figure out what I should have done. I'm using MakeMaker 5.25. The next problem appeared to be a typo in dbdimp.pec; readblob should have been dbd_st_readblob: *** dbdimp.pec~ Tue Oct 17 08:22:58 1995 --- dbdimp.pec Mon Apr 1 12:48:03 1996 *************** *** 601,607 **** } SV * ! readblob(sth, field, offset, len, destsv) SV *sth; int field; long offset; --- 601,607 ---- } SV * ! dbd_st_readblob(sth, field, offset, len, destsv) SV *sth; int field; long offset; OK, now I have a new perl binary with (static) DBD::Informix compiled in; I run "make test": PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 ./perl -I./blib/arch -I./blib/lib -I/usr/local/lib/perl5/PA-RISC1.1/5.002 -I/usr/local/lib/perl5 test.pl install_driver(Informix) failed: DBD::Informix object version 0.20pl0 does not match DBD::Informix.pm $VERSION 1.18 at blib/lib/DBD/Informix.pm line 18.

I've been trying to get Informix working with Perl for the last four months. I would really rather have a dynamic version of DBD::Informix, but I suspect the reason it it statically linked has to do with the Informix ESQL/C libraries. Comments anyone?

My company has just finished installing a system for a big corporate client (which unfortunately I can't name) that we developed using Perl 5 with Oraperl. I wanted to thank everyone on this list who has given me advice when I ran into snags, especially Tim Bunce. The system is for organizing a catalog of URLs with lots of information tacked onto them. It has a dynamic web interface for administrators to manipulate the database, and generates a static web site from the database for end users. Basically, it works like a champ, and it would have been much, much more work without Oraperl.

Assuming you're using Oracle, you'll need to find out which SYSTEM tables store the table layouts. You can start with the "all_tables" table & try to take it from there. | Mark L Korey TriNet Services, Inc. | | mlk@trinet.com 150 Fayetteville Street Mall | | 919-833-2247 ext 230 Suite 1340 | | http://www.trinet.com Raleigh, NC 27601 | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ ---+++--- Received: from punt.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <08063-1@oink>; Fri, 5 Apr 1996 17:01:45 +0100 Received: from punt-1.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 828704724:03479:1; Fri, 05 Apr 96 12:45:24 BST Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by punt-1.mail.demon.net id aa03033; 5 Apr 96 12:44 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id DAA06218 for dbi-users-real; Fri, 5 Apr 1996 03:32:10 -0800 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from deimos (deimos.sovam.com [194.67.1.156]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id DAA06214 for ; Fri, 5 Apr 1996 03:31:59 -0800 Received: from nike.sovam.com ([194.67.3.241]) by deimos.sovam.com with SMTP id <260570-6269>; Fri, 5 Apr 1996 15:31:41 +0400 Message-ID: <316512AD.11FC@online.ru> Date: Fri, 05 Apr 1996 15:31:41 +0300 From: "Roman L.

Also note that I removed the period at the end of line 7. There didn't seem to be any need for an empty 'Makefile.', and if I'm not mistaken, the intent was to echo a newline into Makefile to delimit the SUFFIXES rule.

Hope this helps you.) Yikes! When he said 'Limited hacker release' he meant it!!! Well, I think I finally have the Informix DBI just about working -- at least well enough to pass it on to you. Here's a (partial) list of what needed to be done to get it up: First problems were with the 'build' script. Two changes were required: 1) Make the first line "#!/bin/sh" so bash doesn't try to run it! 2) Change "Makefile." to read "Makefile" (typo) Most of the changes happened with Makefile.PL: 1) Add '/usr/informix' (case) to the list of directories to check for Informix. 2) There were references to $(INFORMIXDIR) and $(ID). The references to $(INFORMIXDIR) should be changed to refer to $(ID). 3) Include files for esql are kept in $ID/incl/esql -- change $opts{INC} to agree. 4) Have to add in '-lasf' to the libraries to be linked in. Order is very important. I changed $sysliblist to be: "-L$ID/lib -L$ID/lib/esql -lsql -lasf -lgen -los -lm" If you are getting a symbol not found for 'ASF_Call' libasf.a is not being found. If you start getting other symbol not found errors (like _oschinternet) the libraries are being loaded in the wrong order. 5) $opts{macro} needs to be changed. $ID should be in double quotes, not single. 6) A number of other small rearrangments. I moved stuff around so it made a little more sense. I can't remember all of what I did, so here is what I ended up with for the guts of Makefile.pl: ------------------------------------------------------------- warn "Warning: Informix library does not appear to be installed.\n" unless -f "$ID/lib/esql/libgen.a" and -f "$ID/lib/esql/libos.a" and -f "$ID/lib/esql/libsql.a"; if ( $Config{osname} eq 'solaris' ) { $linkwith = "-R$ID/lib"; } else { $linkwith = ""; } $sysliblist = "-L$ID/lib -L$ID/lib/esql -lsql -lasf -lgen -los -lm"; # The order of these libraries is very important!!!! print "Informix sysliblist: $sysliblist\n"; $opts{LIBS} = [ $sysliblist ]; $opts{INC} = "-I$ID/incl/esql -I$Config{archlib}/DBI"; $opts{dynamic_lib} = { OTHERLDFLAGS => $linkwith }; $opts{OBJECT} = '$(O_FILES) dbdimp.o'; $opts{macro} = { 'ESQL_LIB' => "$ID/incl/esql" }; ---------------------------------------------------------------- Making these changes should get you far enough to get a new error message, "Version mismatch" in module DBI. Edit Informix.pm so that the line about the version reads: $VERSION = substr(q$Revision: 0.20pl0$, 10); After that, you should be almost ready to roll. Then just change mSQLtest.pl to use Informix instead of mSQL: my( $driver ) = 'Informix'; Run it, and with any luck you'll get an Informix error message -- which is a lot farther than I was this morning. At least I learned a lot about ld... have fun! --nate ---+++--- Received: from punt2.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <21706-1@oink>; Tue, 9 Apr 1996 07:06:13 +0100 Received: from punt-2.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 828984399:16438:2; Mon, 08 Apr 96 18:26:39 BST Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by punt-2.mail.demon.net id aa16172; 8 Apr 96 18:25 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id KAA11056 for dbi-users-real; Mon, 8 Apr 1996 10:13:08 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from skorpio3.usask.ca (skorpio3.usask.ca [128.233.128.56]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id KAA11052 for ; Mon, 8 Apr 1996 10:12:27 -0700 Received: (from jrt128@localhost) by skorpio3.usask.ca (8.6.12/8.6.9) id LAA12641 for dbi-users@fugue.com; Mon, 8 Apr 1996 11:12:47 -0600 From: Judi Thomson Message-Id: <199604081712.LAA12641@skorpio3.usask.ca> Subject: DBI and NT To: dbi-users@fugue.com Date: Mon, 8 Apr 1996 11:12:46 -0600 (CST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL25] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Length: 515 (newbie warning)...

However, today I have noticed the following:- #!/usr/local/bin/perl5 -w use DBI; $drh = DBI->install_driver( 'Oracle' ); $dbh = $drh->connect( '', '/', '' ); die unless $dbh; # Get Max Id #-------------A------------ $MaxID = $dbh->lookup( "select max(id) from fuel_works"); #-------------------------- #-------------B------------ $cursor = $dbh->prepare( "select max(id) from fuel_works"); $cursor->execute; $MaxID = $cursor->fetchrow; $cursor->finish; #-------------------------- print STDOUT "Max ID is ".$MaxID."\n"; $dbh->disconnect; exit; According to the DBI documentation, the lookup function can be used for single selects, but code option A gives me the following error message Can't locate object method "lookup" via package "DBI::db" at lookup line 11. Option B however works, giving me the correct answer. Has the lookup function been implemented, or am I doing something silly?

Well the problem is regarding the DBI spec as being a spec (but that's hardly your fault). The lookup method has never been implemented. I'll state this very clearly for everyone: 1. THE "DBperl SPECIFICATION" (0.6 etc) IS OF HISTORICAL INTEREST ONLY. 2. THE INTERFACE IT DEFINES DOES *NOT* REFLECT REALITY. 3. THE CURRENT INTERFACE IS SUMMARIZED AT THE END OF DBI.pm 4. THE CURRENT INTERFACE WILL CHANGE IN SOME (HOPEFULLY MINOR) DETAIL WHEN THE DBI ADDS ODBC SUPPORT. I would appreciate it if this message could be writ large near the 'DBperl Spec' on the DBI web pages.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit SOme time ago I posted a question regarding a DBD for Raima Velocis RDBMS. Apparently there were no others aquainted with the product then (http://www.raima.com). I am migrating our product, with an embedded INformix V5 database, to Velocis. Interestingly enough, Raima was involved in the original round table discussions for ODBC and ended up using this API as one of their native access APIs (their SQL API). I have not kept up with the flurry of postings to this group, but I faintly recall discussion of "free ODBC" in this group. Correct?? If so, what is the relationship to DBI, and where do I get more info? If I need to, I will write a DBD for Velocis, but this will most likely be an ODBC driver. Is there anyone who has done this for a Unix system? Our instances run mostly on AIX, and it would be very nice to have a perl5 interface to them. In the future there wil likely be more Unix ODBC drivers for more SQL engines. Do you agree?

No insight, but a handy trick... put it in a tight loop then send it a SIGQUIT once it's grown very large. Then view the core file (od -c for example) and see if you can spot a very large chunk consisting of a regularly repeating pattern - that'll be the leak. If you're lucky the contents may give you a clue, if not then at least the size of the repeating pattern may be a clue. Certainly knowing the size of leak per loop may be helpful but you'll need to let it run through _many_ loops to get an accurate figure. Whatever happens I'm off for most of next week. Sorry.

It will basically be a free ODBC driver development kit, and will probably "ship" with drivers for Postgres95, Sybase, and Oracle. The discussion about freeODBC started taking place on the dbi-dev list, and that list is the official discusrrion list for the project.

The basis of this script is a menu of all the tables owned by a particular user. That information is easy enough to get: select table_name from all_tables where owner = 'PIXEL'; But the next step is where I'm having trouble. I need to be able to ask Oracle what columns are in a given table. Normally I would use the DESCRIBE command to do this, but I can't seem to pass a DESCRIBE command to DBI (I've tried using cursors, via $sth = $dbh->prepare($sql), and I've tried using $sth = $dbh->do($sql)...) Is there a way to either: 1) Get the results of a DESCRIBE back from Oracle using DBI or 2) SELECT the row definitions for a given table (presumably from some all_* table in Oracle).

I have a script that processes an uploaded file from Netscape, then makes an INSERT into Oracle. I'd like to name the uploaded file with the primary key from the INSERT. In the past I've done that by getting data back from a stored function using PRO*C. But that's pretty cumbersome, and this script won't be executed too frequently. The lame kludge that I'm currently using is to do a: $sql = "select max(id) from imc_items"; after each INSERT, and using that. But that is obvious open to concurency problems. Currently only one person would run this at a given time (it's an internal-use only application), but that could definately change. All thoughts appreciated. -- James .........................................................................

For any mailing list, the -request address is always made up of the mailing list name, followed by -request, followed by the `@' character, followed by the fully qualified domain name of the machine on which that list resides. In the case of dbi-users@fugue.com, the mailing list name is dbi-users, the fully qualified domain name is fugue.com, and thus the -request address is dbi-users-request@fugue.com. If you wanted to unsubscribe to, e.g., risks@csl.sri.com, you would send mail to risks-request@csl.sri.com. This is very consistent across most mailing lists you will encounter, although sadly there are some mailing lists where the maintainer has been too lazy to set up -request addresses. Still, you should try the -request address first. Now, having explained all that, in order to avoid being flamed to a crisp when you get the response from dbi-users-request and realize that there's another step, I will tell you that what the dbi-users-request address actually does is to send you instructions saying, essentially, that you should go to http://www.fugue.com/dbi with your favourite web browser (I recommend Netscape or Lynx) to unsubscribe. _MelloN_ ---+++--- Received: from punt2.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <20290-0@oink>; Wed, 17 Apr 1996 11:47:37 +0100 Received: from punt-2.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 829731950:07625:1; Wed, 17 Apr 96 10:05:50 BST Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by punt-2.mail.demon.net id aa07377; 17 Apr 96 10:05 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id BAA28653 for dbi-announce-real; Wed, 17 Apr 1996 01:50:30 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from fruitbat.mcqueen.com (pillshovel.mcqueen.com [194.72.106.246]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id BAA28640; Wed, 17 Apr 1996 01:45:59 -0700 Received: (from descarte@localhost) by fruitbat.mcqueen.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) id JAA27027; Wed, 17 Apr 1996 09:41:19 +0100 From: Alligator Descartes Message-Id: <199604170841.JAA27027@fruitbat.mcqueen.com> Subject: ANNOUNCE: DBD-Informix-0.20pl1 To: dbi-announce@fugue.com Date: Wed, 17 Apr 1996 09:41:18 +0100 (BST) Cc: dbi-users@fugue.com X-Pants: ** The return address of this email should be: descarte@hermetica.com X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Length: 860 DBD::Informix-0.20pl1 has been released!

In order to demontrate this idea, I need a simple ODBC driver (maybe based on Sybase or mSQL). I expect my simple ODBC driver can do some simple tasks only like connecting database, simple queries, etc. Are there any guide line for writing ODBC drivers for iODBC? Any help will be appreciated. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ko Kim Ho, Raymond | Email: sword@infolink.net Computer Science Yr 3, HKUST | URL: http://www.infolink.net/~sword | PGP: finger sword@infolink.net ---+++--- Received: from punt.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <07375-3@oink>; Fri, 19 Apr 1996 16:31:41 +0100 Received: from punt-1.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 829902578:18982:2; Fri, 19 Apr 96 09:29:38 BST Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by punt-1.mail.demon.net id aa18573; 19 Apr 96 9:28 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id BAA03022 for dbi-users-real; Fri, 19 Apr 1996 01:18:56 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from nic.transpac.net (nic.transpac.net [194.52.1.10]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id BAA03018 for ; Fri, 19 Apr 1996 01:18:54 -0700 Received: from www1 ([194.198.171.201]) by nic.transpac.net (8.6.9/8.6.9) with SMTP id KAA28119 for ; Fri, 19 Apr 1996 10:20:17 +0200 Message-ID: <31774C93.5889@www1.psab.posten.se> Date: Fri, 19 Apr 1996 10:19:31 +0200 From: Mikael Geijer Organization: Guide Datakonsult X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.0 (X11; I; SunOS 5.4 sun4m) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: dbi-users@fugue.com Subject: Oraperl transaction handling Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi! Sorry if this is not the right fora, if not maybe someone can pinpoint me somewhere else. I have a question regarding the transaction handling in oraperl. I'm running the per5.001 distribution. The problem we're having is that a commit seems to be executed even if I don't do an explicit rollback when exiting my program. If I turn autocommit off and start a connection to the DB and do an insert and then an exit, the transaction is commited. I wonder if an undef of the connection forces a commit? If this is a correct behaviour maybe someone could give an example on how you should handle an abend situatin in a long transaction. Any help i appreciated, I've tried to RTFM but haven't found anything so far.

I took this one step further and am undumping my static perl CGIs! I am running into little errors here and there such as: Can't locate DBI object method "DESTROY" via package "DBD::Oracle::dr" during global destruction. Callback called exit during global destruction. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to help DBI and DBD::Oracle know what is and isn't a static structure (ie don't destroy). I get about another two times speed up. Also my main lag is in DBI and DBD startup (not DB login or any queries) is there any work going on or a place I should look at streamlining this overhead?

True, but the old "DBperl Spec" does state that DBperl would rollback any uncommited transactions before disconnection. I'm tempted to change DBD::Oracle but for the time being I'll just state that the behaviour (from DBI's point of view) is undefined and if you're concerned (which you should be) you should control it manually.

To: Tim.Bunce@ig.co.uk Hi Tim, I have been using DBI/DBD:Oracle for a while now, and have run across a problem. I am developing an interface with which users could update an Oracle table. I tried two approaches (one as a result of the first failure). First: $cursor=$dbh->prepare("UPDATE TABLE SET FIELD='Value'"); $cursor->execute; or $value=$dbh->do("UPDATE TABLE SET FIELD='Value'"); Both of these hang when it tries to interact with the database i.e. when it tries to do $cursor->execute. Second: I printed out an SQL statement to a file, and tried to execute that file as if from the SQL> prompt using: $value=$dbh->do("@/tmp/whatever/scriptname"); That successfully ran, but did nothing to change the table. Am I in the ballpark? Should I do something else? Help me?

The error is: make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/sun4-solaris/DBI/.exists' I ran a `make -d' to get the dependancy list and `/usr/...' is being built because it is out of date relative to `DBIXS.h'. I tracked down the dependancy in the `Makefile', and `all' depends on `$(INST_PM)', and `$(INST_PM)' is defined: INST_PM = $(INSTALLSITEARCH)/DBI/DBIXS.h \ $(INST_LIB)/DBD/ExampleP.pm \ $(INST_LIB)/DBD/NullP.pm \ $(INST_LIB)/DBD/Sponge.pm \ $(INST_LIBDIR)/DBI.pm then `$(INSTALLSITEARCH)', unlike the rest of the `INSTALL*' variables is defined: INSTALLDIRS = site INSTALLPRIVLIB = /home/ken/isrc/perl5.002/tmp/lib/perl5 INSTALLARCHLIB = /home/ken/isrc/perl5.002/tmp/lib/perl5/sun4-solaris/5.002 INSTALLSITELIB = /home/ken/isrc/perl5.002/tmp/lib/perl5/site_perl INSTALLSITEARCH = $(PREFIX)/lib/perl5/site_perl/sun4-solaris I can change `INSTALLSITEARCH' to be like the others and it works, but I can't track this back to `Makefile.PL' to figure out why either `INST_PM' or `INSTALLSITEARCH' is wrong.

I have found in my database->perl experiences (mostly Msqlperl) that the connection to the database engine is the real time killer. Once the connection is up, the queries fly. What about the following situation: Somehow, get the Perl program running at Web server process initialization time, and do the DBI database connection there. That way, the preforked server already is connected, and can issue queries quickly. When the server receives a request for authentication, perform the query against the already-connected database. I don't know enough about embedding perl yet to know if this is practical (call some functions in a perl program from C, have the perl functions return, and then call other functions in the same running perl process later on). My holy grail right now is to get a general-purpose Perl integrated into Apache with Perl opening a DBI database connection at server startup. -Richard ---+++--- Received: from punt.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <24608-10@oink>; Mon, 22 Apr 1996 22:11:22 +0100 Received: from punt-1.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 830202218:26892:1; Mon, 22 Apr 96 20:43:38 BST Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by punt-1.mail.demon.net id aa26385; 22 Apr 96 20:42 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id MAA10522 for dbi-users-real; Mon, 22 Apr 1996 12:36:38 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from relay-4.mail.demon.net (relay-4.mail.demon.net [158.152.1.108]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with SMTP id MAA10518 for ; Mon, 22 Apr 1996 12:36:32 -0700 Received: from post.demon.co.uk ([158.152.1.72]) by relay-4.mail.demon.net id ah10465; 22 Apr 96 19:18 GMT Received: from ignite.demon.co.uk ([158.152.8.99]) by relay-3.mail.demon.net id ap23605; 22 Apr 96 20:06 +0100 Received: from toad by oink with SMTP (PP) id <23630-0@oink>; Mon, 22 Apr 1996 19:44:46 +0100 Received: by toad.ig.co.uk (5.0/SMI-SVR4) id AA25200; Mon, 22 Apr 1996 19:44:38 +0000 Date: Mon, 22 Apr 1996 19:44:38 +0000 From: Tim Bunce Message-Id: <9604221844.AA25200@toad.ig.co.uk> To: turbo@flern.onramp.net Subject: Re: Static or dynamic Oraperl?

I also tried to use $drh-> as well as $dbh-> as the handle to find the correct method with no success. Do we have a function to convert native time_t into Oracle time?

The 'use lib ...' approach also automatically handles the architecture specific libraries. It might not be the fastest way but I'm assuming you'll only do it once.

You have the (sadly very common) idea that the "DBperl Spec" is closely related to the DBI interface. That's not true. The "DBperl Spec" is of historical interest only. It's at least a couple of years old. The DBI WWW pages should make that clear (I've not checked if they do yet, CC'd to Alligator). The only "documentation" (if you want to call it that) is at the end of the DBI.pm file, and even that's not always accurate. Sorry. This situation will continue till the ODBC support is added (don't ask when). The only fully documented and supported stable interface is the Oraperl emulation supplied with DBD::Oracle. Use 'perldoc Oraperl' to read it. All else is liable to change. On the up side I'll be doing more work on DBD::Oracle in the next month or so. A row cache will probably be added and Oraperl may officially be 'released'.

Or is it not worth worrying about? I'm not nonchallant about memory leaks in general. Only a few users have very long running applications or applications that make _thousands_ of calls. 64 bytes is a drop in the ocean of the average perl database application (sadly). You need to make over 1000 queries before you've lost 64Kb. Looking back in my version history I can see that the leak has been there since 0.61, released in August 95, yet this is the first report of it. Those who _do_ have such applications will know who they are and will make the change. The rest need not bother unless it does worry them. Either way, I hope to make a new release this week.

Perl4 oraperl is _very_ stable simple because no one is working on it! Bugs in DBI, DBD::Oracle and the Oraperl emulation seem to get fixed pretty quickly. Perl4 oraperl is currently slightly quicker but DBD::Oracle should catch up before too long. Suck'em both and see.

If you compile DBD (oracle) with a 7.2+ version of oracle check in $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib... there should be a file called clntsh.mk, do a make -f clntsh.mk shlib this generates libclntsh.sl in ORACLE_HOME/lib generate your DBD things and go to ./blib/arch/auto/DBD/Oracle/ mv extralibs.all extralibs.all.old do cat $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/sysliblist > extralibs.all and add : -L/opt/oracle/product/7.2.3/lib -lclntsh you should get something like -lcl -lm -L/opt/oracle/product/7.2.3/lib -lclntsh in your extralibs.all file... do a make perl again in DBD/ if everything goes well you have a shared perl executable now, ie also with oracle shared libs. hope this helps. cheers Wim ================================================================ Wim Coekaerts Work Tel.:32-2-7195978 Work Fax.:32-2-7191314 Home Tel.:32-16-470641 Oracle Belgium Ora*mail: wcoekaer.be Internet: wcoekaer@be.oracle.com "The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them" Albert Einstein The statements and opinions expressed here are my own and do not necessarily represent those of Oracle Corporation. ---+++--- Received: from punt2.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <19600-0@oink>; Thu, 25 Apr 1996 02:52:57 +0100 Received: from punt-2.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 830387166:26701:3; Thu, 25 Apr 96 00:06:06 BST Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by punt-2.mail.demon.net id aa26506; 25 Apr 96 0:05 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id PAA14925 for dbi-users-real; Wed, 24 Apr 1996 15:58:30 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from relay-4.mail.demon.net (relay-4.mail.demon.net [158.152.1.108]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with SMTP id PAA14921 for ; Wed, 24 Apr 1996 15:58:28 -0700 Received: from post.demon.co.uk ([158.152.1.72]) by relay-4.mail.demon.net id ah09331; 24 Apr 96 23:01 GMT Received: from ignite.demon.co.uk ([158.152.8.99]) by relay-3.mail.demon.net id aa13764; 24 Apr 96 23:57 +0100 Received: from toad by oink with SMTP (PP) id <18913-0@oink>; Wed, 24 Apr 1996 23:57:15 +0100 Received: by toad.ig.co.uk (5.0/SMI-SVR4) id AA07698; Wed, 24 Apr 1996 23:57:08 +0000 Date: Wed, 24 Apr 1996 23:57:08 +0000 From: Tim Bunce Message-Id: <9604242257.AA07698@toad.ig.co.uk> To: bidwell@andrews.edu Subject: Re: DBD-Oracle-0.29 Cc: dbi-users@fugue.com X-Sun-Charset: US-ASCII content-length: 223 Organization: Paul Ingram Group, Software Systems, +44 1 483 424424 > From: bidwell@andrews.edu (Daniel R.

I'll add that to the notes in the distribution. Are the details the same for 7.2 and 7.3 on Suns as well as HP's etc? Once I've upgraded our oracle here I'll automate it as far as possible. I seem to recall mention of a liboracle.sl (or .so on Sun's) awhile ago. Is that related? A name change perhaps?

Ok, well, of course you need the oracle libraries to compile the perl executable with all the necessary libs. So yes in the first case you need oracle or at least all those libs installed. Now, it should be possible to use dbd on a client machine thats not got any oracle software installed, ie, you make sure you linked STATIC... and depending on whether you linked with sqlnet v1 or sqlnet v2 or both you need to set up your client system, set TWO_TASK=connectstring and give as connectstring either the V1 or V2 connect string. in case of v1 you dont need to have extra config files, in case of v2 you ll need to create your tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora so that the libs can find these files and use them... Setting your ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID is not necessary either. So in case of V1 it should be Very easy. in case of V2 you need the 2 extra .ora files somewhere in /etc or in a directory you want and point TNS_ADMIN to that directory. lemme know if you have any trouble getting this to work. cheers Wim ---+++--- Received: from punt2.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <23723-0@oink>; Thu, 25 Apr 1996 17:01:22 +0100 Received: from punt-2.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 830427310:20908:2; Thu, 25 Apr 96 11:15:10 BST Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by punt-2.mail.demon.net id aa20802; 25 Apr 96 11:14 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id DAA16498 for dbi-users-real; Thu, 25 Apr 1996 03:08:32 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from inet-smtp-gw-1.us.oracle.com (inet-smtp-gw-1.us.oracle.com [192.86.155.81]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id DAA16494 for ; Thu, 25 Apr 1996 03:08:30 -0700 Received: from behux0.be.oracle.com by inet-smtp-gw-1.us.oracle.com with ESMTP (8.6.12/37.7) id DAA14722; Thu, 25 Apr 1996 03:11:56 -0700 Message-Id: <199604251011.DAA14722@inet-smtp-gw-1.us.oracle.com> Received: from b-w001.be.oracle.com by behux0.be.oracle.com with SMTP (1.39.111.2/16.2) id AA134727085; Thu, 25 Apr 1996 12:11:25 +0200 From: Philippe Vanhaesendonck Subject: Re: Run (not compile) DBD without Oracle on client?

Keep in mind that Oracle stores its messages in files, so if you want to see the full text, you need the $OH//mesg/.msb files... Also as from 7.2, NLSRTL loads the character sets at run time, so if you want to use a non US7ASCII cset, ORA_NLS must point to where you have your cset definitions(e.g.: ORA_NLS=$OH/ocommon/nls/admin/data) -- Phil.

Just put "begin sproc(args); end;" in the SQL you pass to Oraperl. One way to get a return value is to have the sproc store it in a global and then do a separate select to retrieve it after calling the sproc.

If I spawn and then dont do the &ora_logoff, I get stuck with open connections to the database. I'd love some code examples. On a related note, what kind of work is being done to emulate Oracle's Request Broker. WRB is the daemon in Oracle WebServer 2.0 which waits for Web-PL/SQL transactions and mitigates the DB connection overhead. BTW, Doug MacEachern's Apache passwd module is a step above what Oracle can do with their WebServer. Oracle WebServer still doesnt tie database authentication to the httpd.

For any mailing list, the -request address is always made up of the mailing list name, followed by -request, followed by the `@' character, followed by the fully qualified domain name of the machine on which that list resides. In the case of dbi-users@fugue.com, the mailing list name is dbi-users, the fully qualified domain name is fugue.com, and thus the -request address is dbi-users-request@fugue.com. If you wanted to unsubscribe to, e.g., risks@csl.sri.com, you would send mail to risks-request@csl.sri.com. This is very consistent across most mailing lists you will encounter, although sadly there are some mailing lists where the maintainer has been too lazy to set up -request addresses. Still, you should try the -request address first. Now, having explained all that, in order to avoid being flamed to a crisp when you get the response from dbi-users-request and realize that there's another step, I will tell you that what the dbi-users-request address actually does is to send you instructions saying, essentially, that you should go to http://www.fugue.com/dbi with your favourite web browser (I recommend Netscape or Lynx) to unsubscribe. _MelloN_ ----- End Included Message ----- ---+++--- Received: from punt2.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <10671-3@oink>; Mon, 29 Apr 1996 07:11:44 +0100 Received: from punt-2.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 830558735:08910:3; Fri, 26 Apr 96 23:45:35 BST Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by punt-2.mail.demon.net id aa08653; 26 Apr 96 23:44 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id PAA22649 for dbi-users-real; Fri, 26 Apr 1996 15:36:54 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from csiunx.it.csi.cuny.edu (csiunx.it.csi.cuny.edu [163.238.1.20]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with SMTP id PAA22645 for ; Fri, 26 Apr 1996 15:36:52 -0700 Received: by csiunx.it.csi.cuny.edu (5.57/Ultrix3.0-C) id AA04518; Fri, 26 Apr 96 18:43:50 -0400 Date: Fri, 26 Apr 96 18:43:50 -0400 From: dsinha@csiunx.it.csi.cuny.edu (Dr. Divyendu Sinha) Message-Id: <9604262243.AA04518@csiunx.it.csi.cuny.edu> To: dbi-users@fugue.com Subject: unsubscribe Please unsubscribe Div Sinha thanks div sinha ---+++--- Received: from punt.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <10587-29@oink>; Mon, 29 Apr 1996 07:13:06 +0100 Received: from punt-1.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 830558810:19946:0; Fri, 26 Apr 96 23:46:50 BST Received: from relay-1.mail.demon.net ([158.152.1.140]) by punt-1.mail.demon.net id aa19492; 26 Apr 96 23:45 +0100 Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by relay-1.mail.demon.net id aa09623; 26 Apr 96 23:44 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id PAA22655 for dbi-users-real; Fri, 26 Apr 1996 15:37:28 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from inet-smtp-gw-1.us.oracle.com (inet-smtp-gw-1.us.oracle.com [192.86.155.81]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id PAA22651 for ; Fri, 26 Apr 1996 15:37:28 -0700 Received: from behux0.be.oracle.com by inet-smtp-gw-1.us.oracle.com with ESMTP (8.6.12/37.7) id FAA27985; Fri, 26 Apr 1996 05:12:53 -0700 Message-Id: <199604261212.FAA27985@inet-smtp-gw-1.us.oracle.com> Received: from b-w001.be.oracle.com by behux0.be.oracle.com with SMTP (1.39.111.2/16.2) id AA161150742; Fri, 26 Apr 1996 14:12:22 +0200 From: Philippe Vanhaesendonck Subject: Re: Undocumented MiniSvr Feature To: dbi-users@fugue.com Date: Fri, 26 Apr 1996 14:12:50 CES X-Mailer: Elm [revision: 110.32] > From: John D Groenveld > > On a related note, what kind of work is being done to emulate Oracle's Request > Broker.

Tim, DBI is truncating long oracle columns to 81 chars. Is it possible to use DBI to get the full long column? Also, could you explain how the blob_read is used... methinks it might be used to access long fields, but it's not clear. We have to stay with the Perl 5.001m version as 5.002 is causing problems on our system. Any light you could shed would be appreciated.

For any mailing list, the -request address is always made up of the mailing list name, followed by -request, followed by the `@' character, followed by the fully qualified domain name of the machine on which that list resides. In the case of dbi-users@fugue.com, the mailing list name is dbi-users, the fully qualified domain name is fugue.com, and thus the -request address is dbi-users-request@fugue.com. If you wanted to unsubscribe to, e.g., risks@csl.sri.com, you would send mail to risks-request@csl.sri.com. This is very consistent across most mailing lists you will encounter, although sadly there are some mailing lists where the maintainer has been too lazy to set up -request addresses. Still, you should try the -request address first. Now, having explained all that, in order to avoid being flamed to a crisp when you get the response from dbi-users-request and realize that there's another step, I will tell you that what the dbi-users-request address actually does is to send you instructions saying, essentially, that you should go to http://www.fugue.com/dbi with your favourite web browser (I recommend Netscape or Lynx) to unsubscribe. _MelloN_ ----- End Included Message ----- ---+++--- Received: from punt.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <22698-0@oink>; Tue, 30 Apr 1996 07:29:18 +0100 Received: from punt-1.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 830845723:23731:1; Tue, 30 Apr 96 07:28:43 BST Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by punt-1.mail.demon.net id aa23598; 30 Apr 96 7:28 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id XAA01563 for dbi-users-real; Mon, 29 Apr 1996 23:16:06 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from inet-smtp-gw-1.us.oracle.com (inet-smtp-gw-1.us.oracle.com [192.86.155.81]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id XAA01559 for ; Mon, 29 Apr 1996 23:16:05 -0700 Received: from behux0.be.oracle.com by inet-smtp-gw-1.us.oracle.com with ESMTP (8.6.12/37.7) id XAA30300; Mon, 29 Apr 1996 23:20:19 -0700 Message-Id: <199604300620.XAA30300@inet-smtp-gw-1.us.oracle.com> Received: by behux0.be.oracle.com (1.39.111.2/16.2) id AA103255189; Tue, 30 Apr 1996 08:19:49 +0200 Date: Tue, 30 Apr 1996 08:19:49 +0200 From: "WCOEKAER.BE.ORACLE.COM" To: dbi-users@fugue.com Subject: Re: linking perl and DBD:Oracle shared.

I'll add that to the notes in the distribution. Are the details the same for 7.2 and 7.3 on Suns as well as HP's etc? Once I've upgraded our oracle here I'll automate it as far as possible. I seem to recall mention of a liboracle.sl (or .so on Sun's) awhile ago. Is that related? A name change perhaps?

I had earlier successfully executed stored procedures from perl scripts. But I couldnt figure how to specify Oracle stored procedure in(put) and out(put) parameters. In OCI or Pro*C, I would bind a host variable (by specifying the address) to a ':' variable in the SQL statement. The oraperl doc says that I can only bind a value (as opposed to the address of a variable) to the ':' vars specified in the SQL statement. I might have misinterpreted/misunderstood something. I would appreciate any help.

Do you plan to support other platforms than those listed i.e. IRIX? I don't formally ``support'' anything (unless you send me a cheque :-).

"OK" : $rows; so that a true value is returned when no error occurred, but no rows were processed. The 'OK' generates some obnoxious warnings when it is coerced into a number, so would it be possible to use the following little Perl hack that has friendlier behaviour: ($rows == 0) ?

Right now you can only pass values _into_ PL/SQL code, e.g., "begin ... stored_proc_name(:foo, :bar) ... end" You can't retreive modified values or get return values from stored procedure calls. I plan to work on these shortly (a relative term, no promises).

When I had the same problem with the Netscape server, I had to use a begin statement... BEGIN { $ENV{'ORACLE_HOME'} = '/home/oracle/product/7.1.4'; } use Oraperl; This fixed the problem. The problem is that the Netscape server combines STDERR and STDOUT and if the ORACLE_HOME environment is not set before the "use Oraperl" statement then the path to ORACLE_HOME is printed to STDERR (thus STDOUT) before your "&PrintHeader" is executed. This generates the error messsage for a malformed header. (At least in my case) James > > -- > -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= > Douglas Y.

I'm using the DBI/DBD extensions to access Oracle with perl5. You can pick up the sources at CPAN. Other than adding the "use Oraperl" command, you should not have to modify your Oraperl scripts.

We're doing the same kind of things, and have found the same problem. I suspect the Oracle login procedure (we're using SQL*Net) is a real dog. We've had some success by leaving an SQL query server connected to the DB, and then connecting to *that* with plain TCP, but I think the ultimate solution will be to allow the HTTP server to connect to the database directly. (The queries will then be written into the HTML documents; the whole thing will be processed by a server-side-include extension that we've found to be tremendously useful.

Does it print out a valid-looking HTTP header? The Netscape server combines stdout and stderr from the CGI script, so if you're getting Perl compilation errors or database errors the server will think that the error text is an HTTP header.

The WAS because of the STDERR and STDOUT routing of information. For some reason, when I compiled the OraPerl module, it put in full debugging information on. This information gets routed to STDERR every time I run OraPerl. As a stop gap fix I simply set the $ora_debug variable to 0.

Changes in DBD::Oracle 0.30, 7th May 1996 THE ORAPERL EMULATION LAYER IS NOW FORMALLY RELEASED (NO LONGER ALPHA). Note that the underlying DBI and DBD::Oracle interfaces remain alpha because they are still subject to, possibly significant, change. Oraperl v2 used to return the string 'OK' to indicate success with a zero numeric value. The Oraperl emulation now uses the string '0E0' to achieve the same effect since it does not cause any -w warnings when used in a numeric context. Fixed typecast warning (s/safefree/Safefree).

Clarified the behaviour of DBI->connect. $dbh->do now returns '0E0' instead of 'OK'. Fixed "Can't read $DBI::errstr, lost last handle" problem. Changes in DBD::Oracle 0.30, 7th May 1996 THE ORAPERL EMULATION LAYER IS NOW FORMALLY RELEASED (NO LONGER ALPHA). Note that the underlying DBI and DBD::Oracle interfaces remain alpha because they are still subject to, possibly significant, change. Oraperl v2 used to return the string 'OK' to indicate success with a zero numeric value. The Oraperl emulation now uses the string '0E0' to achieve the same effect since it does not cause any -w warnings when used in a numeric context. Fixed typecast warning (s/safefree/Safefree).

'Readme' states: You may need to change the definitions below: [...] DEBUG -DDEBUGGING, -DPERL_DEBUGGING or leave blank; see the file Debugging for an explanation DBUG_O the debugging library, if debugging is required 'Debugging' states: If your uperl.o was built with -DDEBUGGING, you can define PERL_DEBUGGING at compilation and the oraperl debugging will be initialised from the -D flag. If not, you can still define DEBUGGING, but you will have to set ora_debug from within your program. and finally, 'Makefile' states: # Set DEBUG to -DDEBUGGING, -DPERL_DEBUGGING or leave blank (see orafns.h) # If it is not blank, uncomment the definition of DBUG_O # DEBUG = -DPERL_DEBUGGING DBUG_O = dbug/dbug.o To summarise, you need to change the two Makfile lines to read: DEBUG = #DBUG_O = dbug/dbug.o Then issue make clean # to get rid of the old .o files make and a new, debug-less, Oraperl will be built. Maybe someone could add this information to the FTP site and/or Web page?

First really a minor one. It seems to me that 'load_oratab' subroutine is a bit overenthusiastic. It should skip not "turned-on" names, i.e. these without trailing 'Y' in a record. The other is that deleting records does not always work correctly with Oracle 7 (I reported that with 0.29, but apparently this report was lost). Below is attached slight modification of one original Kevin Stock test programs - mkdb.pl. When used with '-v' option to make record labels of 'varchar2', then results are as expected. Without '-v', i.e. type 'char' for record labels, deletes "by name" do not work.

However, I want to write some Java applets that talk to Oracle. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Oracle has released Java classes that comply with the JDBC spec. Tell me if this is a dumb idea: DBI already has support for a bunch of databases. Lots of folks know how to use it. what if we wrote a small gateway in perl that sat on a socket and accepted connections from java applets. I'm not sure how the Java API to the gateway would look, but presumably it would allow the applet to: o connect to any DBI::DBD database o pass SQL queries to the database (via $dbh->do()) o pass SQL SELECTs to the database (with the results returned in a preformatted structure rather than a cursor to keep things simple..) Given that the JDBC is probably only a few months away this may not be a great idea, but I'm not totally sure of the JDBC classes will be freely available. If they aren't, then this might be something worth putting together. Thanks -- James .........................................................................

If we ignore JDBC for now, it should be possible to implement a Proxy object class where any method call and it arguments are intercepted (via AUTOLOAD) and 'marshalled' (via FreezeThaw, Data::Dumper or a similar module) into a string, sent across a comms link, unpacked and reinvoked on the remote side. No DBI specifics. Truly generic. Take a look at Malcolm's Proxy module: Proxy adpO Transport-independent remote processing MICB it's rather old now but it'll be a start. I'vve CC'd this to perl5-porters for comments (and in the hope that someone who has gone further down this road can offer some advise).

The original thread took place on the dbi-users list (probably the wrong list...my apologies). Tim and Alligator responded that they would like to implement a proxy driver for DBI. I'm not familiar with what that would involve, but decided to start playing with some sockets code in perl. I've hacked together a quick little server as a proof of concept. Currently the client is also a perl script, but it knows nothing about DBI, so it serves as a reasonable test. Basically the server waits for a connection, and forks a child when it receives one. The client is extremely simple, it just takes in STDIN from the keyboard and streams it to the server on a socket. The server then takes that stream and checks to see if each line might be an SQL query (very very dumb at the moment...basically checks to see if the line starts with SELECT, INSERT, or UPDATE and then acts accordingly). The SELECT stuff works fine in that the server can execute a DBI query, and stream the query results back to the client (shows up in the client shell..). However, I'm having the following problem: Whatever process I initialize the dbh driver in seems to react badly to the EOF sent from the client (to signal the end of a client session). That is, when the client disconnects from the server, the server dies horribly (the parent, not the child), and no future connections are possible. I've tested the server code with and without the DBI stuff, and it's definately the DBI initialization that is causing the process to die. .... My question is: How do I initialize a DBI connection so that it won't become upset by this socket activity. I've tried initializing the database connection before any of the socket activity. That didn't work. I've tried re-connecting to the database after the child forks, and disconnecting before the child exists -- that has the equally unpleasant effect of kicking the client off after the first query (presumably $sth->finish is knocking the client off). Please excuse my general ignorance on the subject. I may be presenting the problem incorrectly, and I realize that my approach to writing this server is certainly far from ideal. I mainly just wanted to see what the potential problems would be of trying to do something like this. For those interested, source code for the client and server is located at: http://rhino.coe.missouri.edu/~planet/socket/ Thanks -- James .........................................................................

We are running Oracle 7.3.2 and need to build the Oracle DBD. Is the information available on what modifications need to be made to the source distribution to allow it to successfully build? If you could email the information to me, or point me to where I can find it, I would be most appreciative. Thank you, Bruce ----- End Included Message ----- Basically the new proc.mk has an 'include' statement to read in another file, and that the one with the macros we need in. So, for now, I'd copy proc.mk into your local directory and manually edit it to replace the include with the contents of the file being included. You can then say perl Makefile.PL -m your_proc.mk I'll support 7.3 properly in the next release.

Indeed so. However, I never liked the oraperl layer, even since it came out on perl4. Sorry Kevin! Wonderfully useful, but I hated the API. 8-) > And I know that Alligator will be a strong force keeping me from making > too many major incompatible changes to the DBI API. Oh no, I wouldn't do that. I will say, though, have you ever seen the Godfather? ;-) Honestly though, changing the API isn't too big a problem, provided there's either a conversion script, emulation layer or we get enough warning on what the changes are likely to be. Going by work pressures, 1 and 2 may be a problem for either Tim or myself, and by historical precedent, warning seems unlikely too.... :-) > Tim. -- Alligator Descartes | Nexus - Multi-User Virtual Reality Anathematician | http://www.hermetica.com/nexus descarte@hermetica.com | Muse of the Day: "Juliette" - Marquis de Sade ---+++--- Received: from punt2.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <28555-0@oink>; Fri, 17 May 1996 07:06:13 +0100 Received: from punt-2.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 832267039:22351:2; Thu, 16 May 96 18:17:19 BST Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by punt-2.mail.demon.net id aa21461; 16 May 96 18:16 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id JAA02536 for dbi-announce-real; Thu, 16 May 1996 09:57:32 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from netmail.austin.ibm.com (netmail.austin.ibm.com [129.35.208.98]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id JAA02532 for ; Thu, 16 May 1996 09:57:29 -0700 From: mhm@austin.ibm.com Received: from dax.austin.ibm.com (dax.austin.ibm.com [129.35.148.59]) by netmail.austin.ibm.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id LAA55043 for ; Thu, 16 May 1996 11:57:10 -0500 Received: (from mhm@localhost) by dax.austin.ibm.com (AIX 9610R-UP4.1/UCB 8.7/8.7-client1.0) id LAA21410; Thu, 16 May 1996 11:57:08 -0500 (CDT) Message-Id: <199605161657.LAA21410@dax.austin.ibm.com> X-Mailer: exmh version 1.6.5 12/11/95 To: dbi-announce@fugue.com Subject: DBD::DB2 going to CPAN shortly.

We are thinking of porting some OraPerl code to use the DBI directly (without the emulation layer). We are also writing code for a customer who has DBI/DBD installed, but specifically requested that we NOT use OraPerl emulation.

You need a protocol that intercepts *any* method call and stringifies the method name and the args (see Data::Dumper, Storable etc) and sends it across the link. The same in reverse for the results. You also need a way to map object refs into proxies and the reverse. Any other approach is doomed to problems. I urge you to look into the work of others in this area. Especially the Proxy module. Take a look around (at Proxy etc) and then ask the perl5-porters and/or usenet if anyone's done any more work on this other than whats in the CPAN archives.

I can say this from dire experience. mSQL connections are almost instantaneous and require under 100K or RAM ( on Solaris, dynalinked ). Oracle requires 2.3M *per process* ( probably a bit less if the processes are sharing properly ). Oracle takes about 30 times longer to connect than mSQL. For WWW page handling, Oracle isn't really an option, IMHO, unless you're scanning 1 million rows per query, in which case you have a delay anyway. Basically, if the wait for Oracle's connection is longer than the time it takes to execute the query, don't do it! Also, remember that 2.3M per connection.......On a busy WWW server, expect to see things grind to a standstill fairly quickly unless you have around 128M RAM.... > Tim. -- Alligator Descartes | Nexus - Multi-User Virtual Reality Anathematician | http://www.hermetica.com/nexus descarte@hermetica.com | Muse of the Day: "Juliette" - Marquis de Sade ---+++--- Received: from punt.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <02669-30@oink>; Fri, 17 May 1996 17:05:30 +0100 Received: from punt-1.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 832346004:20093:1; Fri, 17 May 96 16:13:24 BST Received: from relay-1.mail.demon.net ([158.152.1.140]) by punt-1.mail.demon.net id aa19569; 17 May 96 16:12 +0100 Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by relay-1.mail.demon.net id aa27048; 17 May 96 16:07 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id HAA06132 for dbi-announce-real; Fri, 17 May 1996 07:52:56 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from netmail1.austin.ibm.com (netmail1.austin.ibm.com [129.35.208.96]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id HAA06128 for ; Fri, 17 May 1996 07:52:55 -0700 From: mhm@austin.ibm.com Received: from dax.austin.ibm.com (dax.austin.ibm.com [129.35.148.59]) by netmail1.austin.ibm.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id JAA05312; Fri, 17 May 1996 09:52:53 -0500 Received: (from mhm@localhost) by dax.austin.ibm.com (AIX 9610R-UP4.1/UCB 8.7/8.7-client1.0) id JAA19376; Fri, 17 May 1996 09:52:53 -0500 (CDT) Message-Id: <199605171452.JAA19376@dax.austin.ibm.com> X-Mailer: exmh version 1.6.5 12/11/95 To: Alligator Descartes cc: dbi-announce@fugue.com Subject: Re: DBD::DB2 going to CPAN shortly.

Useful performance improvement there. Anyone who is using Internet Information Server on NT might like to use PerlIS.dll, from www.hip.com, which does something very similar. Unfortunately instaling this DLL under Purveyor makes it trivial to crash the web server, so it is not an unalloyed thing of wonder :( I'm not sure how your scheme for leaving the database connected would work if two or more database requests hit the Perl code at the same time, but as long as some sort of locking is done this is not going to be a problem at most sites. Combining embedded Perl with a pool of server processes that stay connected to the database would be more complicated but could accommodate larger sites.

I'm working on an Apache/Perl module that embeds a perl interpreter rather than starting a CGI process, your code is "compiled" and run (allowing you initiate a database connection) when the servers starts, and then a subroutine in memory is called to handle each request (which would have access to the ready and waiting $dbh). Here are some benchmarks, using LWP::Simple for a client, where 'cgi' and 'embedded' both do a simple query to an mSQL database via DBI. However, the 'cgi' script runs under standard CGI, the embedded script uses the apache module: Benchmark: timing 1 iterations of cgi, embedded... cgi: 3 secs embedded: 0 secs Benchmark: timing 5 iterations of cgi, embedded... cgi: 12 secs embedded: 2 secs Benchmark: timing 10 iterations of cgi, embedded... cgi: 26 secs embedded: 3 secs Benchmark: timing 15 iterations of cgi, embedded... cgi: 37 secs embedded: 5 secs Sybase/Oracle may be slower than mSQL, but this module should help speed things up a bit. The module is still in alpha, but I'm looking for more people to try it out and provide some feedback, if you are interested check out: http://www.osf.org/~dougm/apache/mod_perl-0.50a2.tar.gz Let me know how it goes... -Doug ---+++--- Received: from punt.demon.co.uk by oink with SMTP (PP) id <09318-4@oink>; Sun, 19 May 1996 17:26:26 +0100 Received: from punt-1.mail.demon.net by mailstore for dbperl@ig.co.uk id 832351258:12882:0; Fri, 17 May 96 17:40:58 BST Received: from relay-1.mail.demon.net ([158.152.1.140]) by punt-1.mail.demon.net id aa12660; 17 May 96 17:40 +0100 Received: from toccata.fugue.com ([204.254.239.2]) by relay-1.mail.demon.net id aa12804; 17 May 96 17:37 +0100 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id EAA05669 for dbi-users-real; Fri, 17 May 1996 04:08:33 -0700 Precedence: junk Sender: owner-perldb-interest@fugue.com Received: from relay-2.mail.demon.net (disperse.demon.co.uk [158.152.1.77]) by toccata.fugue.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with SMTP id EAA05665 for ; Fri, 17 May 1996 04:08:23 -0700 Received: from post.demon.co.uk ([158.152.1.72]) by relay-2.mail.demon.net id ao16268; 17 May 96 12:03 +0100 Received: from ignite.demon.co.uk ([158.152.8.99]) by relay-3.mail.demon.net id ac02874; 17 May 96 11:40 +0100 Received: from toad by oink with SMTP (PP) id <01488-0@oink>; Fri, 17 May 1996 11:32:14 +0100 Received: by toad.ig.co.uk (5.0/SMI-SVR4) id AA17000; Fri, 17 May 1996 11:32:06 +0000 Date: Fri, 17 May 1996 11:32:06 +0000 From: Tim Bunce Message-Id: <9605171032.AA17000@toad.ig.co.uk> To: descarte@hermetica.com, dparker@ikonic.com Subject: Re: Sybase/Oracle DBD in production use?

If nobody is doing it, and you think it would be good to have that, I could try writing something like that this summer, if I have any free time. I know how Qi works pretty well, and I've written a couple of Perl scripts to work with it, but I never wrote them as perl modules. So, if I were to do that, I might need some help just with the way a perl module is written (I'm a perl module virgin), but that is about it. Qi I can handle on my own, pretty much. please let me know what you think, Thanks Otis -- Otis.Gospodnetic@mail.middlebury.edu Information Technology Services Middlebury College ----- End Included Message ----- Feel free.
